All Ready for Halloween Banner

Greetings!

Thank you for stopping by. Today I have a Halloween Banner to show you. I saw the idea for a banner in the Holiday Catalog and I loved it, but in the catalog, it says SPOOKY. I didn't really want to make an identical copy and I didn't really care for Spooky, so I thought I'd go for a longer banner and make HALLOWEEN! My four year old daughter and I made this together and we had a blast!

We used the Banner Simply Created Kit (#132699 for $9.95). It comes with 18 blank canvas paper pennants. There are 3 designs: rounded, banner, and flag shaped at the bottom. We also used the Halloween Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit (#132698 for $9.95). It comes with everything you need to make a cute banner. I added a few pieces of the Witch's Brew Designer Series Paper (#132185 for $10.95) since I made my banner a little longer than the kit was intended for, but there's plenty of ribbon, buttons and accessories to make the banner and have left overs for your projects.

The Banner Simply Created Kit comes with letter stencils (a-z), 3 design stencils: chevron, polka dot and stripes and a spritzer for you to add ink to. I don't really purchase refills (needed for a spritzer), so I used my ink pads and a sponge to create the backgrounds and the letters on each of my banner pennants.

The bad, skull and spider all come in the accessory kit and, you can't really tell in the picture, but they are glittery! The accessory kit also comes with the paper already scored for the rosettes.

It might be a little late to get a banner ready for Halloween, but we have a kit for a Christmas Banner too!! (#132698 for $9.95) It makes a beautiful banner like this one:
